Download or read book Pediatric Hematology Oncology in Countries with Limited Resources written by Daniela Cristina Stefan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-18 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Typically, manuals of pediatric hematology-oncology are written by specialists from high-income countries, and usually target an audience with a sub-specialist level of training, often assisted by cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment facilities. However, approximately 80% of new cases of cancer in children appear in mid- and low-income countries. Almost invariably, general practitioners or general pediatricians without special training in oncology will look after children with malignancies who enter the health care system in these countries. The diagnostic facilities are usually limited, as are the treatment options. The survival figures in these conditions are somewhere below 20%, while in high-income countries they are in the range of 80% for many childhood cancers. Pediatric Hematology-Oncology in Countries with Limited Resources is the only book of its kind to provide specific guidance applicable to limited resource settings and builds up from the foundation of general practitioner or general pediatrician competence. Written and edited by leaders in the field, this manual educates physicians on the essential components of the discipline, filtered through the experience of specialists from developing countries, with immediate applicability in the specific healthcare environment in these countries.

Book excerpt: Pediatric oncology and hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) patients with a critical illness are a particularly challenging population with a unique presentation, diagnosis, and management. One in every three to four children with cancer will require admission to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) during the course of their treatment. Providing optimum care for these patients involves dedicated multidisciplinary collaboration to provide timely and appropriate management. Onco-critical care is a growing field of expertise for the care of this high acuity patient population. Recent work in this field has focused on sepsis, respiratory complications, and multi-organ failure in HCT patients, demonstrating significantly higher morbidity and mortality compared to other critically ill pediatric patients. For the past decade, the HCT/oncology subgroup of the Pediatric Acute Lung Injury and Sepsis Investigators (PALISI) Network has fostered both research and clinical collaborations between oncologists, transplanters, and critical care physicians with the goal to improve outcomes in critically ill oncology and HCT patients. Contributors to this Research Topic will be actively recruited from this network.
